  • I was sent an email which I thought was legit . I opened an attachment (zip file) but nothing in it. I phoned the bank to double check, and of course the email was bogus. How can I tell whether my macbook air version X.9.4 has a virus or not.

    I was sent an email which I thought was legit . I opened an attachment (zip file) but nothing in it. I phoned the bank to double check, and of course the email was bogus. How can I tell whether my macbook air version now has a virus?

    No Mac viruses are propagated through email.
    Be vigilant for suspicious activity as you normally should be, but do not download or install some "anti-virus" utility in an effort to fix a problem that does not exist. That's a well-worn path to certain misery.

  • How can I create a URL for a PWA for MS Project Server 2010 project file that includes the view?

    Hi, this question has been answered for 2013. The answer here suggests that it can be done in  2010.
    See:

    Who knows how?
    Regards
    Sander

    Hi Sander,
    As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I tell whether my airport extreme is a third or fourth generation and what's the difference?

    Is there a desernable difference between the airport extreme third generation and fourth? How can you tell which one you have?

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme
    Information about the device will be displayed in the area to the right
    The 3rd Generation product was the first Apple simultaneous dual band router, introduced in March 2009. Minor changes were made in the chipsets between the 3rd Generation and 4th Generation versions with some antenna improvements added in the 4th Generation versions as well. The 4th Generation version was introduced in October 2009.

  • How can I tell if my computer is using ethernet or wireless for downloads?

    Hi,
    My computer is hooked up via ethernet to my router (base station) which is connected to my DSL modem, and I also have my Airport on because I have extended my network with an airport express so I can stream music to my stereo across the room using iTunes.
    I've noticed in the Airport menu that my computer is connected also to my wireless network which I use for getting online with my iPad.
    Can I assume that my computer will use ethernet and NOT wireless for accessing the internet, downloading files, etc?
    How can I tell which network connection is being used? Are there tools for monitoring the network that would allow me to easily determine if a particular download is going over the ethernet or the wireless connection?
    Clearly, I want to use the hard line ethernet connection for everything and use the wifi only for my streaming music function for speed purposes...
    Thanks!!!!
    Elisabeth

    Hi,
    Internet is served on the priority basic from the System Prefrences Network pane.
    If ethernet is on top you getting it from ethernet if Airport and so on...
    So depending on internet speeds set the priority to access fast internet speeds.

  • I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several library files that look similar but I found that at least one photo is not in both. Can I somehow merge these libraries. Can someone tell me how.

    I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several libraries that look similar but I found at least one photo that was in one and not the others. Can someone tell me if I can merge these libraries, and how, and what to watch for that might cause problems.

    the paid version of iPhoto library manager can merge libraries safely
    Why do you have several libraries? Why are you not just using the one that has what you want?

  • How can I tell whether or not a photo I delete from iPhone will also be deleted from iPhoto on my Mac?

    I would like to download the new iOS, however when I go to do that, a message tells me that I cannot because I need 4.6 GB of storage in order to install it. I only currently have 864 MB of storage available on my 16 GB iPhone 5s.
    The storage problem would be fairly easy to solve through deleting photos and/or videos, as the Photos & Camera app shows a current usage of 5.7 GB. I am perfectly comfortable deleting photos off my iPhone if I know that they will remain in iPhoto on my Mac. However, when I select photos to delete, the phone warns me that the photo(s) will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices. I tested this with some photos I didn't care about (whether or not they got permanently deleted from all devices), and it is perplexing, because even though the iPhone warned me that the photos would be deleted on other devices, they have not deleted out of iPhoto on my Mac. I even Quit iPhoto and re-started it, but the photos are still there. Why would the iPhone claim that the photos would be deleted from other devices, but yet clearly the photos are not being deleted from my other device? This leaves me confused and unsure.
    Meanwhile, if I select a bunch of photos then click Delete, the phone warns me that SOME photos will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices.
    I am very annoyed by the ambiguity of the word "some," and not being able to know for sure whether or not photos I delete off my iPhone will still remain in iPhoto on my Mac.
    I would just like a really clear answer if possible: currently all my iPhone photos are showing up in iPhoto on my Mac. If I delete photos off of my iPhone, will they or won't they be deleted from iPhoto on my Mac?
    Thanks if anybody can help.

    If the Photos have been moved into the Library (Events, Photos, Faces, Places) in iPhoto on your Mac (either because you did it manually or as a result of iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import being on) then nothing you do on the phone will delete them from iPhoto on your Mac.
    If the Photos are ONLY in the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto then you risk losing them as deleting them from Photo Stream will delete them from there.

  • How can I tell whether a project has managed or referenced images

    Hi all,
    Another noob question.
    I started working with Aperture and imported about 20GB of photos from my hard drive into one big project. But I can't remember whether I imported them as managed or referenced images. I want to clean up my drive and delete one set of these if they're duplicates.
    Is there an easy way to determing if the images in the Library are managed or referenced? I've looked all over for an answer, but can't find one.
    Thank you!

    The "badges" in the lower right corner of each image will tell you if the image is a "referenced" image.
    See this page for an explanation of the badges: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=11%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
    The badge icon will either be a small rectangle (which represents your photo) with an arrow (indicating that the real photo is elsewhere -- aka "referenced", or it will the rectangle will have a red slash through it, meaning it's a referenced image but the master is currently offline.
    There's a third possible icon... which is yellow warning triangle (has a "!" in it) with the arrow. This means the referenced master was not found (e.g. the Mac can find the filesystem & folder, but your image is not there.) This means someone decided to delete or move images in the filesystem -- bypassing Aperture.
    On a related note... it is possible to change your mind about whether you want images to be "referenced" vs. "managed". The "Aperture" -> "File" -> "Relocate Master..." will allow you to pick a folder on the hard drive and Aperture will copy the masters to that location -- converting a "managed" image into a "referenced" image. The "Aperture" -> "File" -> "Consolidate Master..." will do the opposite... it will convert a referenced image to a managed image, but does offer the choice of whether the "copy" vs. "move" (e.g. do you want to leave a copy of the image out in the filesystem which is no longer associated with Aperture vs. have the only copy of the master living inside the Aperture library.)

  • How can I tell if there is a Kinect 2.0 sensor attached? C#

    I know there were several ways to do this in the old SDKs, versions 1.5 - 1.8, but how can you do it in 2.0? I've searched through a tonne of forums to try to find this answer as well as combing through the Kinect 2.0 API. I don't want to have to resort
    to going through System.Management to grab all devices connected to USB ports so if there is any light you can shine on this problem I would be very appreciative!

    Hi,
    Your case related to Kinect 2.0. So i moved your thread to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum.
    As it is discuss dedicated to programming with the Kinect for Windows v2 SDK and related computer vision topics.
    Best regards,

  • How can I tell whether my Mac Pro is using the bluetooth dongle or not?

    I got myself a bluetooth dongle to get around the terrible internal BT signal. When it's in use, it alleviates all my troubles and I can actually stroll halfway down the hall and still type accurately.
    However, it seems that every time I reboot, it must stop using the dongle and use the internal, because I then get the terrible signal of the internal antenna. The only way to convince my computer to use the dongle, is to unplug and plug it back in. Then I have to delete all my bluetooth devices and pair them again!
    So yes, I am seeking a two-part solution.
    Firstly, I'd like to know if there's anywhere in System Profiler, BT Preferences, Terminal, etc that will just inform me of WHICH bluetooth my computer is using.
    Secondly, I'd ideally want to set it to default to the dongle. If this isn't possible, at least the first part would let me know when I need to arduously re-do my settings.
    Thank you very, very much. Usually this isn't that big an issue, as I only rarely need to move my peripherals off my desk, but I got a Magic Mouse earlier this week and its extremely clear it doesn't have as strong an antenna or whatever as the Mighty Mouse, and it starts going erratic if I move it so much as a foot from the Mac Pro tower.

    I have the same problem and I cannot find any way to turn off the internal bluetooth without killing all bluetooth including the dongle. If someone has a way to turn off the internal bluetooth I want to see it.
    Thanks

  • How can I tell if my mbp got trojan like MacDefender?

    I want to make sure that my machine is free from those malware. I followed the instruction from the apple site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650, seems ok, didn't find any with the common names MacDefender, MacProtector and MacSecurity but how can I be sure it didn't use another name. That malware suddenly popped up but I was able to close, quitted safari, deleted the files and emptied the trash right away. I had like 4 downloads of that macdefender package. It opened and I just didn't continue to install the application, I wonder if it didn't get through. Can somebody help me out on this? 

    It would be obvious if you had it. You'd have a bright red icon in your menu bar that you couldn't get rid of, and offensive web pages would be popping up unexpectedly.

  • How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

    My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

  • How can I tell whether my iPhone is a 4 or 4s?

    Is there any way I can tell by looking at my phone whether it is a 4 or 4s?

    Easier way :
    If it has two black stripes on the sides close to the top of the device = iPhone 4S
    If it has only one black stripe at the top of it = iPhone 4
